Yes Left and Right Door Glass IS interchangeable on a Deuce and a Half .

[Valley Rock]

I stayed up too late last night watching random Military Truck vids from around the world, in one of them the fellow stated that the door glass in a deuce and a half was specific for L and R .

So I thought about that and it didn't seem right to me since its just a square piece of glass, so I went out today and took a chunk of glass out of an old passenger side door, and put it into the drivers door of my old M50A2 .

They are the same glass, the piece at the bottom of the glass is the only thing that is different and it comes off with 4 little screws and you can put back on the one you need .

Most of you guys probably already know this, but maybe there's somebody who didn't, so here's some pics too .

Do not use a scredriver to pop the bottom piece off the glass, you will chip the glass as it is fully seated in the groove, simply just tap the metal down and off off the glass using the regulator slots .

The TM would have told you that.

Story Time with Tim

Way back when... Shortly after we used to ride a dinosaur to school and back, I worked in a shop that repaired MV's for a utility contractor. We got the jobs in the woods and swamps that nobody else wanted - and were paid handsomely for that work (back in the day).

With all that said, everybody in the shop had their own specialty. Ed was the window and door man. He would pull the glass, pull the regulator, then clean everything up. Then the regulator was made like new - sometimes acid dipped - then greased and made good. The tracks were removed and the felts were replaced and bolted back in place. Then the window glass was replaced where required and sealed back in their freshly painted frames. It wasn't quick work. Old Ed could spend an entire day on two doors, but his work was always as good or better than factory new. You could crank those windows easily and dang it was nice!

I'll bet you're right, but by the time I found a TM, read it and got it to sink into my ADHD infused grey matter, I could have fixed 4 doors/windows .

Every screw and bolt in this door and window assy will fit in the small of your palm, a minor amount of common sense and sone elbow grease can override any problem they may have .

Plus I wasn't really looking for any info, I just wanted to see for myselves, just me myself & I .

I was never good at teh book smarts, applied theory all the way
